So far, Sony has been the brand that has been most concerned with investing in photographic sensors for mobile phones. And we say so far because, as we already reported in another recent article from this house, Samsung has just announced the appearance of a couple of sensors aimed, essentially, at phones with more than one camera sensor… that is, practically all smartphones in mid and high range that are appearing in these times. These are the 48 megapixel Isocell Bright GM1 and 32 megapixel Bright GD1 lsocell. Thanks to the tiny pitch between pixels of these sensors (0.8 micrometers), Samsung will be able to present sensors with incredible resolution in a tiny space.
48 megapixel camera. Star feature of the Samsung Galaxy S10?
Samsung has also ensured that its new sensors, despite having such small pixels, will have excellent performance. If the user decides, with these sensors, to adjust the pixels below the maximum of their possibilities, (12 and 8 megapixels for the Isocell Bright GM1 and the lsocell Bright GD1, respectively), they will be able to obtain a photographic sensitivity to low light equivalent to a pixel four times larger. The larger the pixel on a sensor the better the camera is in low light conditions. This configuration will bring Samsung terminals closer to other terminals with a photographic section as prominent as the Huawei P20 Pro.
Other characteristics of this new pair of sensors include high dynamic range in vivo in the Isocell Bright GD1, in order to obtain richer colors in environments where there is a lot of contrast or very little light, as well as electronic image stabilization based on the sensors themselves. mobile phone gyros. This electronic image stabilization technology has already been used in phones such as the Google Pixel or the Essential.
The Korean brand ensures that this new pair of sensors would go into production in the fourth quarter of this year. That is why, when the Samsung Galaxy S10 hits the stores, it will most likely incorporate the new 48 megapixel sensor, thus assisting a step further in the field of mobile telephony.
